LSU began the 2010 season against North Carolina in the Chick-fil-A College Kickoff. North Carolina took the field missing 13 key players due to NCAA inverstigations over relationships with agents and possible academic violations. The Tigers scored first on a 6 yard touchdown pass from Jordan Jefferson to Russell Shepard. After falling behind 10-7, the Tigers scored 23 unawnswered points. Shepard gave the Tigers the lead with a 50 yard touchdown run, followed by a safety, then two touchdowns from Patrick Peterson and Rueben Randle, respectively. North Carolina rallied with two touchdowns in the fourth quarter and had an opportunity to score the game-tying touchdown with only seconds remaining. The Tigers defense held their ground and earned a hard-fought 30-24 victory in Atlanta. LSU won its 6th consecutive season opener under head coach Les Miles.

LSU put the game away with a 2 yard touchdown run by Stevan Ridley and defeated the Bulldogs 29-7. The Tiger defense forced five interceptions, including two by Patrick Peterson.

Tennessee

See also: 2010 Tennessee Volunteers football team
  • The Volunteers lead the series 20–7–3
  • Reminiscent of the 2009 game against Ole Miss, again the Tigers experienced clock management problems in the final seconds of the game. Confusion on LSU's side of the ball and some hurried substitutions resulted in a muffed hike and a sack with no time left on the clock. Tennessee would have won the game on this play, however they also had some late substitutions and received a penalty for too many men on the field causing a replay of the 3rd down, upon which LSU does score and win.
